About Bernard Fergusson, Baron of Ballantrae
Sir Bernard served with distinction in the Second World War, and when he became Governor-General in 1962, he was following in the footsteps of both his grandfathers, Sir James Fergusson and the Earl of Glasgow, who were Governors of New Zealand; and his father, Sir Charles Fergusson, who was Governor-General (1924-30).

Bernard Fergusson was the country’s tenth governor-general and the last in a long line of British representatives in the imperial tradition. Cheerful and friendly, he was immensely popular and admired for his willingness to meet people from all sections of society. His pursuit of greater Māori–Pākehā unity, his warm and respectful relationship with Māori and his knowledge of te reo Māori were unique features of his term in office. Source: Sarah Burgess.
